Which part is not valid W3C XML Schema ?

The XSD schema have for JNLP 1.0 has <xsd all over instead of <xs

What is the difference?

None whatsoever. Namespace prefixes are intended for human
consumption; correctly-written tools will map tags to element
definitions (from schemas, etc) using the namespace URI, not the
prefix.

In the schema you posted, the root element looks like:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

</xs:schema>

The xmlns:xs attribute binds the 'xs' namespace prefix to the URL
'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'. It could just as easily have been
xmlns:xsd and the element itself <xsd:schema>, or just xmlns
(no :prefix), and <schema>, which is my own preference. The document
would be the same in all three cases.
